'Is This Train Faster Than A Speeding Bullet?'

'Is This Train Faster Than A Speeding Bullet?'

.....It maybe faster than a speeding bullet but looks like a smoothed over turd. I'll take a Union Pacific Big Boy any day......
 
I like it . Looks fast sitting still.
I like the way they shaped it beside the windshield . Streamlined and to hold it down.
 
When I lived in Japan in the early 90s I got to ride the Shinkansen a couple of times. Quite an amazing ride, extremely smooth. I think I read somewhere the original 0 Series Shinkansen cab design was inspired by the DC-8. My favorite was the 100 series. A little pointier than the original 0 series but it really looked like a bullet.
